Title: Your net presence...?
Post by: zpyder on April 05, 2008, 19:59:35 PM
Just bored and trying to think up topics for more activity here.

How great is your presence on the net?

Rules:
Type in your name (First and last) in google.
Count the number of results returned in the first 3 pages that contain "you" and not some other Chris Moody.
And if you really want, do it with your internet nick as well and tally up the results...

Post the number of results.

Lets see who uses their real name on the net the most and who needs to worry about future employees looking up on them...

Im lucky, I got 1/30 results for my name were me.
But 20/30 results for zpyder were me :|

Only 2 pages for my proper name, and I score 13 out of 14 of those pages.
25/30 for Soopahfly.  Pretty much anything to do with Manga and Warcraft/elderscrolls isnt me.

Worrying, my Piratebay login shows up :S

Oh I thought we were meant to find references to us, not just people with our names?

If not, 3 pages full, both names.

I usually hit about four or five depending on whether I use Chris or Christopher Halpin to search and whether I use .com or .co.uk.

Ive had a lot more than that, if I upload repaints to avsim.com for Microsoft Flight Simulator for some reason they end up all over google for a month or two on the first few pages and then slowly start to slide down the ratings.

theres only 3 pages for my name & only 1 of those actually links to me. The rest point to some ice hockey playing kid.

I do pretty well to keep my presence low

Realname:
Google has 10+ pages and my homepage is on the first page for both .com and .co.uk

My homepage gives my 360 gamertag, which gives:
3 hits in the first 3 pages (not so bad).

For my name the second and third were directly from my RTF short stories.

Serious is so common that while there were huge numbers of results none of them in the first three pages related to me.
